Sesame Chicken

By Rhonda Parkinson at About.com.



3 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. sesame oil
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. water
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vegetable oil, additional oil for frying
Sesame seeds

1. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes.
2. Mix all ingredients, except sesame seeds and mix well. Add chicken pieces and allow to marinate at least 20 minutes.
3. Heat oil in deep fryer then add chicken; 4-5 pieces at a time. Deep fry until a beautiful golden brown. Remove to dish covered with paper towels to drain.
4. Before serving sprinkle with sesame seeds.

NOTE: I like sesame seeds, so I add extra to the actual marinade. There is a sauce for this too, and it is featured below, however, I usually make a simple sweet and sour sauce.

Sesame Chicken Sauce

1/2 c. water
1 c. chicken broth
1/8-3/4 c. vinegar (depends on how sweet you want the sauce; for a sweeter sauce reduce the amount of vinegar.)
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. chili paste
1 clove garlic, minced

1. Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. be sure to continuously stir. Turn heat to low to keep it warm while frying chicken.
2. When chicken is done, you can pour the sauce over the chicken and top with sesame seeds or offer it as a dipping sauce.
